a Big Crop of Weddings.

Reliable rumor predicts greater than usual
number of weddings during the fall and winter
season, an indication of prosperity surely. We
are in proper trim for just such occasions, and
would ask personal inspection of the multitude
nous articles, ornamental and decorative. with
which our Storerooms are crowded. We point
with pleasure to our immense array of Solid
Silver and Plated Ware suitable for wedding
presents, rare Vases, elegant Clocks, handsome
Statuary, and brica-brac generally. Our line
of bronze ornaments is brilliant in itself and
throughout may be found thousand valuable
novelties suitable and appropriate as souvenirs
and keepsakes. In Diamonds, Jewelry and
Watches, it is impossible in limited space to
speak intelgibly. Suffice it to say that not
even the famous ''Tiffanysn can outrival us in
beauty and careful selection of our stock Prices
have been made TO suit the times, and we offer
our representative stock on its merits and stake
our reputation on the result Our engraving
department is carefully conducted, and all work
in this line is artistically executed We are
always pleased TO show visitors through our
stock, even though they may not be ready to
buy, as we feel that our establishment is one of
the sights of the city and it is always ''exh-
bition day" to the public. Respectfully,

New Cotton Route.

Capt. Norman Statham, of Wilcox county,
has gone to Darien, where he will take
charge of the steamer Alice Clarke. This
boat was built in Wilmington, Del, for the
Americas, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad
Company. and is intended for work on the
Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers Americas
merchants have determined to ship their
cotton from Americas over the new road
to Abbeville, and there load it on boats
for Savannah. The business men
of Americas and the Central rail-
road the Hawkinsville Dispatch says have
been on unpleasant terms for many years.
The new road from Americas through
Dooly and Wilcox to the Ocmulgee was not
built for the trade and cotton of those coun-
ties, but to compete with the Central road
and to offer Americus a shorter route to
Savannah. Heretofore the cotton shipped
from Americas to Savannah was sent by
way of Macon. The Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin road will certainly be built across
the Ocmulgee and reach some point on tho

Gable Street Cars.

There was rumor afoat few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long rum as SO
many more trips could be made in day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in very little time. just the
same at Appel & Schaul's. the One Price
ClothierS; it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to call and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-l63 Congress

THE TONNAGE DUES.

And Last of all Came Savannah
Every city on the seaboard from Boston
to New Orleans, yielding to the mandate OF
those who expound the charter of our
liberties, has more or less gracefully aban-
doned the attempt to extort harbor dues,
but in Savannah alone Lord Decimus lite
Barnacle still sits at the entrance gate, levy
ing his contraband war tax on shipping and
dong his little best to throttle that which is
to us the blood of life Sir Barnacle is a
bad case of ris inertia, and all that he
touches takes the dry rot. 1t shows not
alone in the matter of an obsolete tonnage
tax a suggestion that the world moves, and
that we should try to keep 'in the swim" is
to him a bette noir. Any one who proposes
change or u new enterprise of whatever name
or nature is to Sir B. a public enemy.
Years ago the Central Railroad Company
proposed to run its track along the river
front in order TO utilize the wharves and
storehouses. but Lord Decimus hung his in
junction on the outer wall and our wharves
are idle and the storehouses empty. Re-
Gently some enterprising parties proposed
to improve and utilize a bit of waste land
right i'll the shadow of the circumlocution
office, which has been used by the city as a
dumping place for rubbish and hospital
for disabled drays, but Sir Barnacle sat
down on it, and Dry Rot prevails. A cor
poratiOn of merchants proposed to erect a
handsome edifce on a SPOT sacred as a roOst-
ing place to gang of negro loafers, but
Sir Bamacle waved his injunction and
that which would have been an
ornament to the city is no
more than hole in the ground. The
| county authorities proposed to erect hand
some Jail in quarter VIGOROUSLY the abode
of vice. Sir Barnacle walled and CRASHED
his teeth, but that one time he got left.
The United States government now pro-
pose to give us handsome public building,
and this one won't have it unless they buy
| his old rookery at a fabulous price-that
| one don't want it unless it shall be placed
within so many feet and inches of his par
| ticular place of business-Barnacle won't
have it anyway because his grandfather
did not! That is just the trouble with the
Barnacle family-two much ancestor. For
| that man who honors and emulates the
| deeds of his ancestors one can have respect,
| but for him who, sitting idly on his fathers
ducats, shaking the dry bones of the past in
the face of the live present, calls for honors
| to himself, because bis progenitor founded
| a city or won a battle, one can feel only
contempt. Atlanta and Birmingham and
| Admission and Decatur are thriving as the
green bay tree, because they live in the
| present and for the future, but we of Sa-
| vannah count our glory in the dead past
| and Lord Decimus Tite Barnace and Sir
| Tudor Silkstocking are hung about our
necks like deadly incubus.
